The Strange New Word of the Gospel

In today's postmodern culture many people are turning to religion but they are not necessarily finding their way back to the church. Most unbelievers in America and other Western countries are "post-Christians." Though baptized and brought up in a church they no longer believe and practice the Christian faith. In such a time the great challenge facing the church is re- evangelization.<BR /><BR /> This volume provides serious theological reflection on Christian missions within postmodern post-Christian culture. Written by respected scholars representing the Catholic Protestant and Orthodox traditions these chapters point out elements of the gospel that will help the church speak effectively to contemporary society particularly in the United States.<BR /><BR /> Suggesting startling approaches to Christian proclamation this volume shows how "the strange new word" of the gospel can reawaken faith in the postmodern world.<BR /><BR /><B>Contributors</B>:<B>John Milbank<BR /> Robert W.
